Simple, Starving to Be Safe - Daphne Loves Derby

I've been noticing my clothes fit A little bit looser Worried is an understatement When you don't have a future Schizophrenic borderline, hear it in my sleep Dying is a victory if it will bring me peace Starved with no regard 'Cause I can go a little bit longer Falling, I'm falling so far away Hold out your hand when I start to break Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know I've been noticing my bones show A little bit clearer I don't recognize who I see Reflected in the mirror Thinner, I'm not bitter of the cards that I've been dealt I would give up everything to be somebody else Starved with no regard 'Cause I can go a little bit longer Falling, I'm falling so far away (Far away) Hold out your hand when I start to break (Start to break) Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know Try every night to swallow more than my pride But I'm starving to be empty I bite my tongue so I don't feed off your love 'Cause I'm starving to be empty Falling, I'm falling so far away Hold out your hand when I start to break Falling, I'm falling so far away (Far away) Hold out your hand when I start to break (Start to break) Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know

Let's leave this place behind when we finally decide What it's gonna take to make you feel alive (feel alive). What's it gonna take to open up your eyes? To open up your eyes? It's time to get out of this town This torture (this torture). It still holds you down. Be blessed and move forward silent and sound. These words don't always come out right, But I feel that we're wasting time. Letting go of each other we're still holding tight. All these words don't always come out right, But I feel that we're wasting time. Are we wasting our time? Are you still holding tight? It was only fair to look to the sky, To breathe in the air, To wait in the shadows. With empty hands, no sense of pride. Would you give up if we'd all given up. 'Til the East was ours we drew the lines that divide. Stapled these badges of pain to our sides. To our sides. We've all had our enemies we're leaving the past behind. I don't feel like I'm losing sleep. I know you can see it in my eyes. We've all had our enemies we're leaving the past behind. I don't feel like I'm losing sleep. I know you can see it in my eyes. You can see it in my eyes. You can see it in my eyes. These words don't always come out right, But I feel that we're wasting time. Letting go of each other we're still holding tight. All these words don't always come out right, But I feel that we're wasting time. Are we wasting our time? Are you still holding tight? I'll leave my heart there by your bedside If you swear that your eyes won't stray. To be honest, open and hoping. To find the words to say. I'll leave my heart there by your bedside If you swear that your eyes won't stray. In honesty, honestly I only let go for the sake of you.

Trembling knees I always dream about a deadly earthquake That shakes the state, smoke and flames Always make it oh, so hard to speak and see, I can't escape Wait for me, I'm so afraid But you always seem so secure oh and oh so sure I'm so sorry but everything I keep close to me runs away Oh, such a shame I'll hide amongst the trees And breathe so quietly until the sun comes out Until the morning comes, so many things scare me Like her shadows dance amongst the trees I've got the skin and bones to stand and say So many things to you, oh to you Oh, but I lack the guts to hold the weight And keep my blood so clam, so calm Trembling knees I always dream about a deadly earthquake That shakes the state, smoke and flames Always make it oh, so hard to speak and see, I can't escape I'll hide amongst the trees And breathe so quietly until the sun comes out Until the morning comes, so many things scare me Like her shadows dance amongst the trees And when the ground all breaks, I'll just run away I'm sorry I still haven't changed I'll trade my veins for your nerves Maybe then I'll stay strong Wait for me, I'm so afraid But you always seem so secure oh and oh so sure I'm so sorry but everything I keep close to me runs away Oh, such a shame Trembling knees I always dream about a deadly earthquake That shakes the state, smoke and flames Always make it oh, so hard to speak and see, I can't escape

Everyone's alive but ill Let's take deep breaths And lock the doors so no one Yeah so no one has to know I can say I'm doing well As long as, As long as I can see the room from the grave yard shift she turns I was too ashamed yeah I was too ashamed I was just too weak to save her But she doesn't care No! she doesn't care Please let me take your pain away for one day Everyone's alive and well Yea we're doing fine As long as there's no time to cry We're healthy, yea we're healthy still I'm sorry I can't save you from evenings you spent weeping Behind the doors where no one has to know I was too ashamed yeah I was too ashamed I was just too weak to save her But she doesn't care No! she doesn't care Please let me take your pain away for one day Everybody's doing fine Yea we can stay healthy as long as there's no time to cry I was hoping, I was dreaming That we could someday change

Believe me, I believe everything you say Even if you claimed you heard a ghost sing songs I think I know what you're doing when I'm away But believe me I'll believe they're simple mistakes I've been worn away by birthday memories and galleries Of pictures in my head of you when I'm away Maybe we could make this space to talk about it Forget about it for now, it seems so hard to do And there's a constant pain in my head caused by sights I'd rather forget I hope this time it will fade away I've been worn away by birthday memories and galleries Of pictures in my head of you when I'm away I'd do anything to keep this fear from flowing through my veins, oh I'd stay awake and fret just for you I'd stay awake and fret just for you [x4]

200 miles away from home. 200 miles beneath this lake is where my heart belongs, but you don't care at all. You wouldn't even smile if I were screaming as the water filled my lungs. You demand to be chased for your love. My desperate heart is far too weak to run for you this long. But you don't care at all. There's nothing I can do to draw you close to me. Can you take this silence like a pill so I can breathe again? I've been trying to ignore the best parts of you. I'm still hoping that I'll be with you somehow. Please be home tonight. I'll die if I don't get a chance to make this just right. I'm sorry but I can't forget about the way I feel every time you're here. What would it take for me to be with you? I swear I'd rip my heart out if you said you'd be impressed. Please be impressed. I'd go so far to please you but I bet you wouldn't care at all. Hopeless love, please leave me. This broken heart is far to weak to run for you this long. Why don't you care at all? I'm dying for a place in your heart. Can you take this silence like a pill so I can breathe again? I've been trying to ignore the best parts of you. I'm still hoping that I'll be with you somehow. Please be home tonight. I'll die if I don't get a chance to make this just right. I'm sorry but I can't forget about the way I feel every time you're here. Hopeless love, why did you carve your home in me? This broken heart is too weak to hold your weight. And now I regret the day we met. And help me forget your name.

If I find my way through the darkest of days, Will I laugh about the things that kept me awake? But if my greatest fear paints itself so crystal clear, Will I run away or will I hide? And if I don't come home tonight, Just know I tried my best to fight. Please don't think I plan to lose to the night. And curse the moon so dull and bright, My heavy soul can't stand the light. It burns me straight to the bones, my bones In the desert sun I watched my nerves come undone. One by one my strings they tangled into knots. And ever since that day, deep in Santa Fe. I've learned to hate myself for giving everything away. And if I don't come home tonight, Just know I tried my best to fight. Please don't think I plan to lose to the night. And curse the moon so dull and bright, My heavy soul can't stand the light. It burns me straight to the bones, my bones And if I don't come home tonight, Just know I tried my best to fight. Please don't think I plan to lose to the night. And curse the moon so dull and bright, My heavy soul can't stand the light. It burns me straight to the bones, my bones

Please Tell me how you lift these heavy bricks And how you built this path for me to walk on Carve yourself in stones With the strength of all convinced But I know your skin is still as thin as mine What does it take to believe In all the things you believe? And maybe I need to listen more carefully I finally know How you stand against the worst there is You enjoy coffee and Debussy I can't believe the calmness in your bones After everything And when she dreams She sees herself in her Sunday dress Humming simple melodies She's known since she was only three What does it take to believe In all the things you believe? And maybe I need to listen more carefully I finally know How you stand against the worst there is I finally found The strength you've tried to tell me about Oh, even when the sky is crashing down You, you locked your knees and stood up straight You, are the strength inside my veins Oh, I want to feel the strength you know And what does it take to believe In all the things you believe? Maybe I need to listen more carefully
